How to get rid of unwanted tooltips in Excel 2013 addin ribbon

I have written an Excel VSTO Addin with C# that is compatible with Excel 2013 as well as Excel 2016/365. In Excel 2013, I see a tooltip window for every ribbon button, that contains my addin's name and a link to more information, which simply opens a help topic about addins. I don't want either. If I add a "ScreenTip" or a "SuperTip" to my ribbon buttons, they will be added on top of this unwanted tooltip, but they don't replace it. Excel 2016 does not show such tooltips. How can I get rid of them? I only want my own ScreenTips and SuperTips

Excel 2013 unwanted tooltip

Since I am using the VS Ribbon designer, I have no, and don't want to have, access to the underlying ribbon XML.

You can't get rid of them, that part is controlled by Microsoft. Assumedly it was part of Microsoft's goal of helping to inform users that a control is not a Standard Office control, so that when it breaks, they don't blame MS for it, but instead recognize the identifier listed there and then seek support from whoever made the Add-In.
